Enjoy much Love Amanda xxx
Ive tried to make it as simple as possible but if there's anything your unsure of please do comment one of us should be able to help you xxxxx

Extra notes :0)

At step 7 check that an HDC wll fit it may only need a SC all around :)

Finished and measuring a perfect 6" :0) if you haven't quite got 6" will a round of SC do it or maybe blocking if only a smidgen out which can be done by pinning down to the 6" and spraying with cold water or spray starch and allowing to dry?

Have fun much love Amanda xxx

Pertinitacos' SIBOL Square 'Star Fish'.

Hi Everyone!



This beautiful Square was made by Pilar (pertinitaco Flickr).  I thought I would tell you where she got the pattern from because I think it is amazing.  But so are the other Squares that Pilar has made! Please pop over to Flickr and have a look at her Squares.  She has sent me Squares for the 'Mens' Blankets' but also for the 'Sea/Seaside' theme. 

I'm going to copy and paste now what Pilar wrote about this Square.

this is from the book 200 blocks by Jan Eaton. Block nº 71, named "Starfish" in the spanish edition. I just added the white round to make it more maritime

If you look up in Jan Eaton's Book you will see No. 71 is called 'Star Flower' in the English version.

I hope this helps why not have a go!

Thanks Pilar for a gorgeous Square.
